The event will celebrate Hoover’s life with good friends, family and food.

The restaurant, in Fountainhead Plaza in Hagerstown, will donate 15 percent of the check to the Living Legacy scholarship fund set up in Hoover’s name.

If you would like to post this event to your Facebook wall, please feel free, as this is a public event. Fliers will be made and distributed soon. Take the flier to the restaurant so the wait staff can attach the check to it.

Church to hold barbecue

St. Peter’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Clear Spring is sponsoring its third annual chicken barbecue Saturday, May 12, starting at 10 a.m.

It will be held at 13708 National Pike (Shady Bower) next to Mills Service Station and Valley Market.

Tickets cost $7.

The menu includes one-half chicken, baked beans, applesauce and roll. It will cost $6 for one-half chicken only.

The chicken will be barbecued by George and friends from Ernst Market.

The Clear Spring Garden Club asks the community to remember that Tuesday is May Day.

Years ago, neighbors made cones of sturdy paper and attached a ribbon handle, or used a small can or basket. Then they would put in flowers and/or candy, tea and a few cookies. They would deliver them to their neighbors’ porches anonymously. There is still time Tuesday to practice this tradition and surprise a neighbor or two with a May Day basket.

Did you know?

Did you know that among the many characters who traveled along the Old National Pike were organ grinders? Around the time of the Hagerstown Fair, they would pass through Clear Spring, play an organ by turning the handle and a monkey would dance around. Groups of children and passers-by would watch and the monkey would pass around his hat for pennies.
